@eleanormharris Very nice! From what we've seen the ash tend to be healthier this year, but its still very variable. Suspect the hot dry summer last year reduced spore production.

[Future Trees Trust @FutureTreesUK]

Our researchers measure the height of every tree as they're planted. This baseline data will be important for future analysis in order to evaluate aspects of the silver birch in the progeny trial such as growth, vigour and diameter.

[Prof Richard Buggs @RJABuggs]

I am pleased with how this study turned out. As its under press embargo I can't comment further. But do read the pre-print. "Genomic evidence of natural selection for ash dieback resistance" https://t.co/p19pmXjxoX

There is a notion that earlier flushing trees are more likely to be damaged by late spring frosts -leaves still inside buds are safer.
Frost damage can lead to forking, branching and bad timber form. We are assessing phenology to:

@BarleyRose_ @FutureTreesUK @ForestryComm @LGuillardin Thanks for this - v good idea! We try to collect oak cuttings from the outer crown which may be harder to access in this way. But will bare in mind for future

The LIVING ASH PROJECT is delighted to share important guidance to IDENTIFY and REPORT ash trees tolerant to the ash dieback disease within a woodland setting
Watch the FULL VIDEO funded by @DefraGovUK here: 👉https://t.co/ofeOOttejb @Forest_Research @FeraScience @KewScience

[Future Trees Trust @FutureTreesUK]

If you know of tolerant trees within a woodland setting, with many surrounding ash that are badly infected with ash dieback, we want to hear from you. You can report tolerant trees using your smartphone in the field, or on the Report a Tree tab.

[Anirban @bhalomanush]

Indian scientist Felix Bast discovers a new species of algae off the coast of the Andaman archipelago. And it’s already threatened because of habitat destruction.

It belongs to the genus “Acetabularia” and so it is single-celled. Yup, each umbrella is one ginormous cell.

IMPRESSIVE Birch seedlings sown this Spring at @MaelorForest The trees behind Dr @JoeBeesley are from a seed stand, and those he's photographing are from the qualified seed orchard. The improvement is really clear to see!
Plant improved birch now for future timber production!

[Maelor Forest Nurseries @MaelorForest]

Head of Research Jo Clark and Researcher Joe Beesley from The @FutureTreesUK visited the nursery to assess the seed inventory on our sycamore seed orchard.
We also had a look at the fantastic growth on the improved silver birch from the Maelor Forest Nurseries seed orchard.

FTT Researcher @JoeBeesley fieldwork update at the end of April looked at budburst variation at one of our Oak progeny trials. #TreeResearch #Oak #FutureTrees

[Joe Beesley @JoeBeesley]

Crucial and fascinating work on genetics of ash dieback tolerance! 🧬🌳

Living Ash Project is working alongside to select and breed tolerant individuals. If you know of any healthy ash trees please let us know! https://t.co/OrCmEEuxqu @FutureTreesUK @Forest_Research @FeraScience

Recent visit to Herriard Estate - this time with a camera crew instead of a dbh tape. Short film on our work with oak coming in a few months! @FutureTreesUK

[Vastern Timber @VasternTimberUK]

The Future Trees Trust are dedicated to hardwood tree improvement. Dr Jo Clark and @JoeBeesley of @FutureTreesUK showed us the FTT's work at a sycamore progeny trial, growing better trees for timber.
